Stainless Steel Barbed Hose Connector — T-Piece & Y-Piece, 6mm–25mm

Match the barb size to your hose's inner diameter (ID). For example, a 10mm barb fits a hose with a 10mm (≈3/8") inner bore. When in doubt, measure the inside of your hose — not the outside — before ordering. If you're between sizes, typically size up for an easier push-fit.

A T-piece splits or joins flow at a 90° angle, while a Y-piece does so at approximately 45°. Y-pieces generally cause less turbulence and flow restriction, making them preferred for fuel or coolant lines where smooth flow matters. T-pieces are more compact and suit tight routing spaces.

Yes. Stainless steel construction provides strong corrosion resistance, making these connectors generally suitable for outdoor, marine, and humid environments. For prolonged saltwater immersion or highly aggressive chemical exposure, contact us to confirm the specific grade.

Hose clamps are not included. Typically, you'll want a clamp sized to match your hose's outer diameter (OD). For a secure seal, use a worm-drive or spring clamp rated for your application's pressure range. Contact us if you need clamp recommendations for your specific hose.

Stainless steel barbed connectors are generally compatible with water, coolant, fuel, air, and light hydraulic fluids. Compatibility depends on the specific fluid chemistry — contact us to confirm for aggressive chemicals, solvents, or high-pressure applications before use.

Pressure rating varies by size and hose type. In most cases, barbed stainless steel connectors used with reinforced hose and proper clamps can handle typical low-to-medium pressure applications. Contact us to confirm for your specific pressure requirements before use in high-pressure systems.

Installation is straightforward — push the barbed end firmly into the hose and secure with a hose clamp. Lubricating the barb with water or a drop of dish soap can make insertion easier, especially for smaller sizes like 6mm or 8mm. No special tools are required.
